• SW: FtpServer version 2.76 released

    From VOICE News Service@21:1/5 to All on Thu Oct 3 16:34:01 2019
    ++ From the VOICE OS/2-eCS News Service http://www.os2voice.org ++

    From: peterDESPAM@DESPAMpmoylan.org

    FtpServer version 2.76 can now be downloaded from

    http://www.pmoylan.org/pages/os2/FtpServer.html

    or from

    ftp://ftp.pmoylan.org/FtpServer/ftpser_2.76.zip

    or from Hobbes incoming. Source code, if desired, can also be found at
    the same places.

    FtpServer is a free open source FTP daemon for OS/2. It differs from the default ftpd that comes with OS/2 by having more flexible access
    controls (e.g. a different virtual file system for each user), and it
    can handle large files.

    This version of FtpServer expects to use INIDATA.DLL and XDS230M.DLL,
    which are not included. If you don't already have them, you can download
    ftp://ftp.pmoylan.org/software/inidata_1.0.zip
    which contains the two DLLs. (And the source code for INIDATA.DLL) This
    should be a one-off download, because is unlikely that INIDATA.DLL will
    be revised very often.

    Recommendation: although these DLLs can be anywhere on your LIBPATH,
    ArcaOS users should probably put them in \usr\local\lib. If your \usr
    doesn't have a "local" subdirectory, please read the INIData
    documentation for the suggested subdirectory structure.

    This version of FtpServer continues to include legacy text-mode
    utilities VIOSetup and tmonitor, which have had few updates over the
    years and so don't support some newer options. I would be interested to
    hear from anyone who is still using these utilities, so I can decide
    whether to scrap or to improve them.
